Glasgow Whisky History: Lost Industry & Hidden Sites (Dave Broom, Iain Russell)

Glasgow is often overlooked in Scotch whisky history — but the city played a major role in the growth of the whisky trade (or as they sometimes called it, whiskey). In this film, whisky writer Dave Broom and industry expert Iain Russell explore Glasgow’s forgotten whisky story: the people, places, and infrastructure that helped whisky reach the world. This documentary-style walk is based on research and offers a fresh look at Scotch whisky history — from urban networks and bonded warehousing to the blending and bottling links many Glaswegians pass every day without realising their whisky connections. 🎬 Featuring: Dave Broom (whisky writer) 🎬 Featuring: Iain Russell (whisky sleuth) 💬 Question: What other overlooked whisky cities or “hidden sites” should we explore next?
